L'Avventura
1960
Itlian
directed by Michelangelo Antonioni
this is a film that will not leave my mind so subtle and yet something about this film lingers and grows with every view it becomes more complete. L'Avventura is about truly shallow people and yet has more to say about existence than almost any other film I have ever seen.
Trivia:
At its premiere at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival, this was booed so much to the extent that Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti fled the theater. However, after the second screening there was a complete turn around in how it was perceived and it was awarded the Special Jury Prize, going on to become a landmark of European cinema.
Despite its critical mauling at its first showing at the Cannes Film Festival, two years later "L'Avventura" was declared by Sight and Sound as the second best film of all time, right behind "Citizen Kane" (1941).
